Whirlers and Twirlers: Science Fun with Spinning

48 pp. | Lerner/Millbrook | September, 2001 | Library ISBN 0-7613-1573-X $$23.40
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Steve Haefele. Though the interaction between the narrator and her sidekick-creature Igor is corny at times, it effectively introduces basic principles of spinning and balance. Bright, generously sized cartoons clearly illustrate the simple experiments that demonstrate these points; materials required are quite basic, such as buttons, dental floss, and glue. A lighthearted tone in both prose and speech balloons permeates the text.
